Interactive data visualizations tend to inspire awe. The proof — to steal their pun — is in The Pudding, a site full of data-driven essays that aesthetically convey stories about everything from politics to pop culture. They've analyzed the words in school dress codes, the gender parity of newsrooms, and even the evolution of every Air Jordan. What makes their essays unique is their interactivity. The essays themselves glean key insights from the data, but the visualizations allow the user to experiment with it themselves. The Pudding promotes a positive appraisal precisely because it exceeds expectations — what you think is a simple graph shifts as you hover over different elements or adjust different controls.
